The FDA approved a sNDA for Stiolto Respimat (olodaterol + tiotropium), from Boehringer, that adds data showing improvement in health-related quality of life among people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to the product labelling.

The label expansion is based on data from two sets of Phase III trials—OTEMTO 1 & OTEMTO 2 and TONADO 1 & TONADO 2—from the TOviTO clinical trial program for Stiolto Respimat, which includes more than 15,000 people with varying severities of COPD worldwide. OTEMTO 1&2 were 12-week placebo-controlled trials, and TONADO 1&2 were 52-week active-controlled trials, which together evaluated Stiolto Respimat in more than 6,700 COPD patients. Data from OTEMTO 1&2 were recently published online in the journal Respiratory Medicine.
